Review summary

Sailed with large group and had a great time with great service. Loved the ship updates and upgrades. It was disappointing to not dock in Jamaica due to high winds but otherwise I had a funtastic adventure. Unfortunately many members of our group became ill including my roommate.

I love the amplification. The pool deck is so bright and cheery! The hammock additions are my favorite! Everything looks so fresh and clean.

Ports of call

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5

Labadee is beautiful. The water is incredibly clear with pristine shorelines. We relaxed on the beach, explored and shopped. We did not visit the village to shop as I feel they are too aggressive and I do not enjoy.
